Can current theories of cosmology explain how the Universe evolved ? One way to find out is to plug everything we think we know about the early Universe and how galaxies form into a supercomputer , and see what comes out .

In a simulation presented today in Nature , researchers did just that — and revealed a cosmos that looks rather like our own . The findings lend weight to the standard model of cosmology , but could also help physicists to probe where our models of galaxy formation fall down .

Previous simulations of the growth of cosmic structures have broadly reproduced the " cosmic web " of galaxies that we see in the Universe , but failed to create a mixed population of elliptical and spiral galaxies , because of numerical inaccuracies and incomplete physical models .

Moreover , they were unable to track the small-scale evolution of gas and stars to the present epoch within a representative portion of the Universe .

Here we report a simulation that starts 12 million years after the Big Bang , and traces 13 billion years of cosmic evolution with 12 billion resolution elements in a cube of 106.5 megaparsecs a side .

It yields a reasonable population of ellipticals and spirals , reproduces the observed distribution of galaxies in clusters and characteristics of hydrogen on large scales , and at the same time matches the " metal " and hydrogen content of galaxies on small scales .

Move over , Matrix — astronomers have done you one better . They have created the first realistic virtual universe using a computer simulation called Illustris .

Illustris can recreate 13 billion years of cosmic evolution in a cube 350 million light-years on a side with unprecedented resolution .

" Until now , no single simulation was able to reproduce the universe on both large and small scales simultaneously " , says lead author Mark Vogelsberger ( MIT | Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics ) who conducted the work in collaboration with researchers at several institutions , including the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies in Germany .

These results are being reported in the May 8th issue of the journal Nature .

The Illustris project is a large cosmological simulation of galaxy formation , completed in late 2013 , using a state of the art numerical code and a comprehensive physical model .

Building on several years of effort by members of the collaboration , the Illustris simulation represents an unprecedented combination of high resolution , total volume , and physical fidelity .

The About page contains detailed descriptions of the project , for both the general public and researchers in the field .

On this website we present the scientific motivation behind the project , a list of the collaboration members , key results and references , movies and images created from the simulation data , information on upcoming public data access , and tools for interactive data exploration .

Robert Langlands , a Canadian , is one of the world's great mathematicians . Langlands' universe is the outer limits of Pure Mathematics , a rarefied realm where abstract objects exist , infinity is corralled and symmetry reigns .

Quantum Gravity is among the most fascinating problems in physics . It modifies our understanding of time , space and matter . The recent development of the loop approach has allowed us to explore domains ranging from black hole thermodynamics to the early Universe .

The Theoretical Minimum is a series of Stanford Continuing Studies courses taught by world renowned physicist Leonard Susskind . These courses collectively teach everything required to gain a basic understanding of each area of modern physics including all the fundamental mathematics .

Ten years ago we had the embarrassment that there were five consistent string theories plus a close cousin , which was 11-dimensional supergravity . I promise you that by the end of the talk we have just one big theory .

" Hammer on ! hammer on ! " is the first principle of success . Without work you can never succeed . A lazy person is bound to perish in the " struggle for existence " , one cannot live , one must die .

Rise to the GOD-Consciousness to such a degree that for you your past relations may become a complete blank . . . Your relation to the world should become the relation of GOD to the world ; an entire change .

From one point of view , mind and intellect are not Brahman ; but on the other hand , mind and intellect are nothing else but Brahman , even the body is nothing else but Brahman , and Everything in the world is nothing else but Brahman .

Can you transfer your consciousness ? Put it here , your consciousness should sit here . Can it sit here ? Now it is inside your body . It is operating through the body and you are seeing through the aperture of your eyes and then perceiving a person like me here .

Immanuel Kant is said to have been woken up by Hume from " dogmatic slumber " and brought about a " Copernican revolution " in the field of philosophy . In Kant we begin to reap the ripe fruits of philosophy , for it is here that it shows signs of its having reached maturity and full development .

PRABODHASUDHAKARA | THE NECTAR OCEAN OF ENLIGHTENMENT | PART 2 | DEVOTION | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA | TRANSLATION & BHASYA BY SAMVID | PSNOE SERIES || The devotional fervour which the author exhibits in the four concluding sections of this work would appear to be in sharp contrast with the author's relentless pursuit of truth through rational enquiry , found in the earlier sections .

I am composing the Atmabodha , or Self-Knowledge , to serve the needs of those who have been purified through the practice of austerities, and who are peaceful in heart , free from cravings , and desirous of Liberation .

One who has one's mind Self-absorbed through Yoga , and who has the vision of sameness everywhere , sees this Self existing in everything , and everything in one's Self . | One who sees Me in everything , and sees all things in Me — I do not go out of one's vision , and one also is not lost to My vision .

Some minds with too much self reliance in themselves , and without considering the true nature of things , give them different forms and colours , according to their own conceptions and opinions , though far from truth .

DANGEROUS HABIT OF CONSTANT SELF JUSTIFICATION | To go on claiming this so-called freedom , which is no more than a subjection to certain ignorant cosmic forces , is to indulge in a blind contradiction and to claim the right to lead a double life

Imagination in the mind always exaggerates . Exaggeration is a modification of lie . Aspirants should not exaggerate . They should utter words with mathematical and scientific precision . An aspirant is asked to give up company and observe Mouna .

MahaBhava is a Divine Ecstasy . It shakes the body and mind to their very foundation . It is like a huge elephant entering a small hut . The house shakes to its foundation . Perhaps it falls to pieces .
